Education for Career Change

Featured Replies

I am interested in changing my career to one in computer science - web development or web design. I have an undergrad in Interior Design and a masters in Adult Education. I have always been strong in math, and enjoyed it, and have had the opportunity to work on SharePoints and a CMS system - just from the front end though.

In getting an education or credentials to get started down this path, would an Associates Degree at a community college be a good way to get entry into the field? Or would that be rather useless, and I should look into a Bachelors instead? What if I learned programming on my own?

I am very appreciate your site,and your article is useful, thank for sharing us this information.-DEMI

You will have to find out what is the norm in the field in your geographical area.

 

Are you thinking of self-employment or working for a company?

 

If the latter, read existing job adverts carefully to get an idea of what would be expected.
